Protect Party Interest, Akawor Urges Former CTC Chairmen
Former Caretaker Commitee Chairmen of local government areas in Rivers State have been charged to ensure that party unity, and interest are protected at all times.
The charge was given by Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, when he played host to the ex-CTC chairmen in his office.
Akawor urged them to be vanguards in the promotion of security, peace and development of the state.
Ambassador Akawor also urged them to use their privileged positions to galvanise support for the party at the grassroots level.
The State PDP boss said as former council chairmen and members of the party, their interest should be to work for the unity of the party in the state.
“For you to have served the party at that grassroots level for that period, you remain part of the same vessel where everybody is trying to move to a particular direction”, Akawor noted.
Recalling their strategic position in conveying the programmes and policies of the party to their people at the grassroots, he told them to feel free to come to the party secretariat at any time, assuring that the party’s doors remained open to them.
“For you to have come, it means you have singled out yourself as someone who is ready to defend and work for the growth of the party at any point in time”, he said.
Ambassador Akawor said the state was lucky to have a governor who started as a local government chairman and has today become the symbol of party politics in the country.
